San Francisco Campus for Jewish Living (SFCJL) Short-Stay Rehabilitation Unit

Our JHRC – UCSF Partnership in Geriatric Medicine at the San Francisco Campus for Jewish Living (SFCJL) Short-Stay Rehabilitation Unit provides integrated and coordinated delivery of clinical care expertise in geriatrics and palliative care across UCSF and SFCJL short-stay rehabilitation, expanding the reach of UCSF geriatricians in our community. 

Michi Yukawa, MD serves as the Post Acute Care Medical Director at the Jewish Home & Rehabilitation Center (JHRC).

As Post Acute Medical Director at JHRC, Dr. Yukawa will provide physician leadership for implementing a new patient care partnership in which UCSF geriatricians provide the clinical care for patients discharged from UCSF Health to JHRC’s short-stay rehabilitation unit.  She also will provide medical directorship for the entire 120-bed short-stay rehabilitation unit, known as the Friedman Pavilion.  She will work with UCSF hospitalists and primary care to enhance the quality of the transition process for UCSF patients from hospital to JHRC and back to UCSF primary care and provide education for JHRC staff in geriatrics and quality indicators. She also will facilitate implementation science research into JHRC’s clinical environment, including integrating Geriatrics and Geriatric-Palliative Care fellows into research and quality improvement projects.
 
Together, we envision this community-academic partnership will enhance the health of our community’s most complex patients by improving care delivery and coordination at the hospital-skilled nursing facility interface and by training future leaders in the care of older people.
